ACTING 202:
ALONE ON STAGE
Being alone on stage can be nerve-wracking! In this class, you will explore the power of the monologue in the context of auditions and a full production. In order to perform with clear intention and presence, the instructor will provide feedback and lead you through acting exercises as you prepare your monologue. We will cover audition etiquette through role play and performance and you will have ample opportunity to perform your monologue in front of your classmates and at the end of term, share the piece in a public showcase.
